The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Iowa for the Speediatrics 200 where we could see some Cup Regulars spend Fathers Day driving trucks, I could see a great race at Iowa as a part of the Double Hitter Weekend with the Xfinity Series. The NASCAR News Source could be at the Iowa Speedway next weekend but some things are getting in the way and we are trying our hardest to resolve these issues! We hope to give you the fans inside access from the Iowa Speedway!

What better Fathers Day Gift could you give to your father than a beautiful Gas Tank Replica Trophy from Iowa Speedway. 40 Drivers on Sunday will have just that opportunity and after one of the best finishes of the 2016 Season momentum is on the side of Daniel Suarez. Of Course Daniel doesn't have to worry about winning anymore after defeating Kyle Busch in Michigan. As time ticks the season is coming closer to Chase time and some drivers will be chasing their Chase Hopes Sunday in Iowa. The NASCAR News Source could be in Iowa this weekend, we are still working out some kinks in the system but hopefully we will report the Iowa Race from Newton Iowa!

You heard it first here on The NASCAR News Source early this morning at around 1:25 am ET about a fire at ThorSport Racing in Sandusky, OH. We worked hard to get more details but they were slim last night. Reports are being released now about a few details of the damage and things that survived. According to the Sandusky Register, multiple fire departments were on the scene. The team’s four haulers, along with some tool and pit boxes, were removed from the shop before a pre-dawn fire spread. Some of the team’s trucks also survived, but a team spokesperson was unsure of the exact number. As of nearly 2 p.m. ET the fire was contained but firefighters were battling some smaller issues. The team stated that no one was injured. The team also reported that the fire started in the basement of the 100,000-square foot shop. A spokesperson for Kyle Busch Motorsports, a fellow Toyota team, stated that they had reached out to ThorSport Racing officials and offered whatever assistance is needed from parts and pieces to a place to work. According to Toyota many other Toyota teams have also offered their assistance including Red Horse Racing. The Truck series races Saturday at Iowa Speedway. The team stated it plans to compete. Be sure to stay tuned for more details as they come available and continue to keep this team in your prayers. (Koelle,2016)
